... 90rocz, I saw your post get edited unsuccessfully trying to get a pic of the 335i to come up, at least 5 times... I think I heard your cries of frustration from here in TN.
I was getting ready to just find one and post one for ya, but wasn't sure what you were really trying to get at.

I've got one that's basically identical to the one in the picture above.
It's an amazing machine for sure.
I've been wanting to put together a thread about it and my experience but have been very busy lately.

Yep.
Yep.
Sorta. Remember that the G8 is quite a bit larger than a 3 Series (or even a 5 series, I think). It is along the lines of a 300/Charger competitor.

This car also did a real number on the Dynojet chassis dyno at MD Automotive in Westminster, California. Peak wheel horsepower increased 75 hp from 265 hp to 340 hp over the privately owned BMW we tested in our first full test of the 335i coupe. But the real story here is the torque increase, which makes the 335i substantially more drivable than before. As we mentioned, the torque peaks at 390 lb-ft — 114 lb-ft more than stock. The margin decreases toward redline, although there's still a 50 lb-ft surplus.
the Arctic Metallic 2007 BMW 335i Coupe cooling in the driveway is but an automatic.
